✨✨✨ My Journey to Health, and the Stage
Dear Friends, Fans, Chosen Family, and Kind Strangers,
Today, I come to you with a heavy heart but a hopeful spirit. I want to share my journey, the barriers I've faced, and the urgent need for medical support that could change everything for me.
For many years, I've been passionate about health and fitness, training tirelessly to overcome what ales me, to become a nuclear beacon for others to see they're not limited that true strength comes from serving your life for longevity. Just as I am not my conditions not my disease , nor am I my mental illness as things happening to me do not define me, nor do they define others.
I hope to be a competitor in the National Physique Committee (NPC) and show others it's possible to get past your own body as its against you even as your fighting underlying chronic conditions, and chronic disease.
Competing has not just been an aspiration; it has been a dream that has sustained me through life’s challenges, but also has helped me see the true depths of where my efforts can take me to become more accomplished in my personal reality, my experience and of course my spiritual journey , and healing journey.
However, due to ongoing medical issues, this dream is at risk, and I find myself at a crossroads.
I have been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and other chronic conditions , and disease stemming from neurological issues, Virus's and infections.
This complex illness is characterized by extreme fatigue that isn't alleviated by rest and significantly impairs my ability to engage in everyday activities, but that doesn't stop be from pushing my heart out, and giving my absolute all for health for longevity , but even simple tasks can leave me utterly exhausted, and the unpredictability of my energy levels takes a toll on my emotional and mental health.
The fatigue can make it an uphill battle just to participate in building my awareness for my strength to turn my strength into resilience, but I push past the walls the barriers the limits of my body and what ales me to hold compassion ,and love myself so dearly.
Additionally, my neurological conditions have brought on various symptoms from my Autism such as cognitive dysfunctions to a degree and trouble concentrating, and even pain , and chills , sensitivity in different parts of my body with all the hypersensitivity of what's going on underneath the surface.
This means my workouts my trainings are often the only thing that breaks me out of the suffering I face from my body against it self.
The productive sessions rebuild my strength, but despite my dedication and desire to push through, my body frequently reminds me of its limitations, sometimes leading to weeks or even months of incapacitation, debilitating pain, exacerbating feelings of frustration and helplessness, but I know I'm strong and I push through it.
It feels like I am in a constant tug-of-war with my own body, which is disheartening for someone who has always sought and pushed strength and endurance.
These afflictions try to impede my physical capabilities but I have pushed through for my healing, but I am so deeply affected my mental landscape too. The emotional toll of living with chronic illnesses can be overwhelming, leading to anxiety and depression. At times, it feels like everything I’ve worked for is slipping through my fingers, and my desire to show others they themselves can push past what effects them pushes me to give my all to show those who think they can't that they can. My desire to compete fades under the weight of my condition , but will not impede me from showing myself I can be strong not only for myself but also for others.
I yearn for the energy and vitality to not just train, but to enjoy life fully again away from the suffering of what's behind the scenes and in the future for my condition.
I am in need of surgery , and intervention that is essential not just for my physical health, but for my mental and emotional resilience. This procedure could provide the necessary intervention to alleviate some of my chronic symptoms, ultimately helping pave the way for my recovery. The prospect of regaining my strength fuels my hope and determination. I want to reclaim my dreams and the lifestyle that became my passion to define my health for longevity.
The journey toward this surgery is daunting and comes with significant costs. I know that asking for help can feel vulnerable, and I have built strong walls around myself. Admitting that I need assistance is challenging, but I am coming to understand that vulnerability often leads to growth and connection with others. Each contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to recovery and having my body back and maybe getting on the stage I’ve always dreamed of gracing.
Your support will not only help alleviate the financial burden of my medical expenses but also lift my spirits. It reminds me that I am not alone on this journey.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Words cannot express how grateful I am for any help you can offer. I am determined to overcome these obstacles, return to my absolute best health, and inspire others in the process.
With heartfelt gratitude
